$2.99 for a gallon of milk? No way. I am a bargain shopper, and I'm not ashamed. I will never pay more than $1.99 for my milk, and I always know when and where it's on sale. If it's on sale at Kroger, I have to make sure I have my Kroger Plus Shopper's Card.

The MSU hockey team heads into the CCHA Super Six quarterfinals game today at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit against a Nebraska-Omaha team it has much in common with. The Spartans and Mavericks have identical overall records of 19-15-4 and split their only regular-season series in late October with respective 5-2 decisions. The Spartans were all over Nebraska-Omaha the first game of the series, only to come out flat in the second game. "Probably the game I think we played our worst in was that second game way back in October," MSU head coach Rick Comley said of the Oct.
In all new contracts, university and other public employers cannot provide benefits for same-sex partners because of Proposal 2, Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox said in an opinion released Wednesday. The attorney general's interpretation of the law will not affect current contracts but will apply to future ones, unless a court decision rules otherwise. "Michigan has historically afforded a combination of social, legal and financial benefits uniquely to married men and women," Cox said in his written opinion. When citizens voted for Proposal 2 last November, it meant that marriage would be reserved for a man and woman to preserve the benefits of marriage, he said. Cox's opinion was in response to questions from a state representative about the legality of benefits for same-sex partners of city employees in Kalamazoo. Ann Arbor Public Schools is currently involved in a legal suit at the Michigan Court of Appeals from a religious law center that challenged the district's right to offer benefits for same-sex partners. The University of Michigan and Wayne State University also support keeping benefits for their employees. Since 1997, MSU has offered benefits to same-sex domestic partners of faculty members including family and medical leave, childcare services and health, dental and life insurance. The policy states a couple must live together and be in a long-term committed relationship for at least six months with intentions to stay together. "The university has said in the past that its commitments made would be maintained," MSU spokesman Terry Denbow said.
The blended sounds of flute, bassoon, piano and vocal harmonies filled the basement of the Music Practice Building on Wednesday morning as Michelle Knechtges guided a group of students through a song. "I wrote it," she said, grinning and pointing at her name on the top of the sheet music. The 49-year-old Mason resident held a microphone near her mouth and sang alto harmonies to the tune, titled "I Am Happy," for which she penned the lyrics, chord progressions and melodies for all instrument and vocal parts. Wednesday's practice session was in preparation for Knechtges' upcoming performance in the "Celebrate Abilities" recital this Friday on campus.

The University Activities Board's 3rd Annual Battle of the Bands is expected to draw more than 1,000 people to the International Center Friday, as 11 local bands take the stage to compete for $3,000 in prizes. "It's always a busy night for the International Center," said Janelle Jacobs, assistant manager of the University Activities Office. With 10 bands having competed in past years' competitions, Jacobs said organizers added an extra spot to the bill to make room for more talent at the event, which is co-sponsored by Elderly Instruments in Lansing and the Freshman Class Council. "There was a lot of good competition this year, so we decided to add one more," she said, noting that at least half of the members of each participating band are MSU students.
